For one minute, walk outside, stand there, in silence, look up at the sky and contemplate how amazing life is.

Lunch out... with plenty to look at

A friend and I went out for lunch in the local park and were given a corner table with a two way view of the lake. What a surprise, though, to see so many cows coming down to the water. Mixed breeds, which is unusual, so we guess there was more than one owner. Every year the cows are allowed in this vast park where they spend the summer munching and roaming the entire area.

Eventually though they wandered back to the forest and as they retreated so the Canadian Geese swam in. There were a lot more than can seen on this picture and we think they had actually just flown in. There's not usually that many geese on the lake.

Ron, I hadn't thought about it before but you're right about the cows appearing to be gentle animals. They're also obstinate. I remember having driving lessons in the park and the cows refused to move to let me pass.

I think there must be a knack of getting into one of those boats... head first, probably... grins.

Wow.........you see some amazing things on your outings! The good news is you remember to take the camera. I take mine everywhere I go--unfortunately, I get so wrapped up in watching, I forget to pull the darn thing out and snap the photos!*sigh* What AM I thinking?!
